Wine and Cocktails
Festive Cocktails for Company
Making that first round of cocktails for a crowd of dinner guests can be a handful. Everyone (at least the polite ones) arrives at pretty much the same time and descends on the bar like a swarm of thirsty mosquitos. Having a batch of interesting, refreshing and, most importantly, made- ahead cocktails on hand can make this crush much more manageable and even more fun for the guests.
Arkenstone Wines
We discovered Arkenstone wine at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro in Yountville, California in late September 2010. It was their barrel selection and the staff was very excited about it.
Key West Color Change Cocktail
About ten miles offshore of Key West, just past the reef, the water dramatically changes color from a greenish blue to a deep, deep blue.
Tablas Creek wines
Tablas Creek is a fabulous winery in Pasa Robles, California.
Harbour Island Rum Punch
We love Harbour Island, a charming little island accessible only by boat off the coast of North Eleuthra in the Bahamas.
